Contract Tenders: 24/11/2025
Explore the latest Social Housing UK tenders, featuring a strong mix of capital delivery, compliance, fire safety, planned works and early-stage regeneration procurements, with several significant pre-market exercises signalling major future opportunities — particularly around regeneration, JV delivery models and large-scale frameworks.
Starting in Scotland, Perth & Kinross Council has issued a £5.1m contract for domestic bathroom replacements, covering 568 homes over a 24-month delivery window. The procurement leans toward quality (60%) and will appeal to contractors specialising in refurbishments delivered under tight residential timeframes.
Moving to the South West, Cornwall Housing has released a £5m framework for property repairs and void services to support its non-HRA portfolio over the next four years. This is a competitive but attractive opportunity for multi-trade maintenance providers, especially those with strong social value positioning.
In the North West, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing continues its planned investment activities, this time with a £519k short-term boiler replacement programme across Arnold Bagnall and Yew Court schemes. At only three months, this is a fast-turnaround project geared toward specialists with available capacity.
Further south, Portsmouth City Council signals one of the most strategically significant procurements of the period — a £16m (up to £16m potential total) 5-10 year term contract dedicated to fire safety compliance services across its housing and corporate assets. This award marks a shift from traditional gas servicing frameworks towards a more compliance-led model aligned to the Building Safety Act.
LiveWest adds to South West market activity with a £333k lift replacement programme, split into four lots and evaluated primarily on quality. A softer but still important early-stage notice comes from Home Group, preparing the market for a future procurement around heat network metering and billing, a growing area as organisations respond to energy and heat efficiency regulation.
Nationally, Fusion21 has opened early engagement for its next major £85m Grounds Maintenance Framework, which is set to serve contracting authorities UK-wide for four years. This continues the ongoing consolidation of national procurement frameworks and will be a major focal point for landscaping and maintenance contractors.
In London, Peabody Trust has moved to market engagement for its £116.7m JV venture to deliver the final phase of the Wornington Green regeneration, covering up to 370 new homes and community amenities. With compliance, placemaking, and mixed-tenure viability at the forefront, this opportunity will attract Tier 1 and strategic developers.
Staying in Greater London, Greenwich Council has published a £7.5m new build contract covering three smaller infill sites as part of the wider Greenwich Builds programme. With delivery aimed at reducing temporary accommodation reliance, this aligns closely with local authority social value and housing-need priorities.
Further southwest, the Isles of Scilly Council has issued a modest but locally significant £500k groundworks package supporting a new residential development — a good fit for regional civil firms. Closing the list, Haringey Council has released an £200k flooring package focussed on non-slip solutions for responsive repairs, likely to appeal to specialist subcontractors.
